Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 576 General Operations
In the finals, the Lakers led 3-1.

To be more precise, now that the first quarter is over, the Lakers lead 3.25 to 1.

Perhaps with another 0.75 games, the championship will be settled.

Entering the timeout, the commentator also had to catch his breath. O'Neill took off his headset and looked around boredly, and found Lord of the Rings Russell who had just walked out of the player tunnel.

He shook his body and said to his partner: "Russell probably didn't run away in vain today, I think his body is really getting worse every year."

Mark Jackson turned around when he heard the words, just happened to see a figure from behind, and said quite lonely: "No matter how legendary a legend is, it will grow old."

As a retired superstar, O'Neill also feels the same way.

Fortunately, Mark Jackson quickly changed the subject: "However, it's hard to say whether he ran for nothing today. The Cavaliers' momentum is quite strong, and they will catch up after the first quarter."

O'Neal: "Mark, what do you think is the difference between tonight and the previous games?"

Mark Jackson thought for a while and replied: "The Lakers are behind Towns, and the Cavaliers are behind Kyrie. No, it should be LeBron."

The ups and downs of the Lakers are related to Towns' knee, which is understandable, but where is the difference between the Cavaliers?

Mark Jackson continued: "Shaq, do you remember how the Cavaliers started the first few games?"

O'Neal recalled for a while and said: "It seems that Kyrie Irving singled out Yuan Qingshan to start."

Mark Jackson snapped his fingers: "Correct, let's look at this game again. LeBron took back the ball early. LeBron may have realized that there is not much time left for himself and the Cavaliers. We can't let Kyrie be so willful."

"Nice job!" Just because the beautiful female commentator is something for Irving fans, now Barkley will not let go of any chance to run on Irving.

O'Neal: "Oh, Mark, you're right. In the first quarter, the Cavaliers had the most touches with LeBron, followed by Kevin Love. LeBron is consciously encouraging Love to hit Towns."

Mark Jackson: "Yes, the Cavaliers have been doing this since the last game. Competitive sports are like this. When you have an injury and you are still on the court, then you have to be prepared to be targeted. Throw it out of the court for mercy."

O'Neill nodded again: "I said Mark, you are becoming more and more like a philosopher."

Mark Jackson sighed and said: "No, it's just personal experience, it's true."

Barkley got a little impatient to hear that, and he yelled at Mark Jackson and said, "Stop sighing there, put on your headset, the second quarter has begun."

In the second quarter, the Lakers did not send a starting lineup. Towns, Whiteside and Paul George were all off the court. This lineup was led by Yuan Qingshan, and Beverly, Nick Young, Jeff Green and Channing Frye cooperated.

To Mark Jackson's surprise, LeBron James of the Cavaliers also took a break. He was replaced at the third position by a small forward who hadn't shown his face in the playoffs at all.

The last goal of the first quarter was scored by Yuan Qingshan, so the Cavaliers have the ball at this time.

Without LeBron James on the court, the Cavaliers' offensive authority will of course be handed over to Kyrie Irving.

Besides, Owen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wharton put Yuan Qingshan in the second position and let Beverly defend him.

His pressure was reduced, but Bradley Bill's face turned bitter.

Confronting "Super Evolution" Yuan Qingshan?Only a fool would think so!

Irving pushed forward with the ball, the other four Cavaliers came to run, Love wanted a high position, Bill was on the wing, Tristan Thompson obediently went to the penalty area, and LeBron's substitute was a little confused, not knowing which area he should go to.

Nick Yang was amused, and said in his heart that after two years, it was finally my turn to abuse food.

Irving stopped the ball at the top of the key, took two steps back to create space, and then slammed into Beverley.

Beverly raised his hands and pushed his chest up, looking like he was afraid of fouling.

Seeing that he was worried about gains and losses, Owen became more violent, and jumped past Beverly from the right side, and went straight to the basket.

The Lakers' Whiteside was not on the court, and Channing Frye played on the outside. He didn't make up the defense in time, and Irving got in and made an empty basket.

On the Lakers bench, Don Stein stood up immediately and shouted at Wharton: "Coach, if Hassan and I leave the court at the same time, our interior defense is too weak. This will be used by the Cavaliers, so just let me play, Coach!"

Wharton hugged his shoulders, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Towns' face became more and more anxious, and the defensive coach quickly pressed him down and persuaded him in a low voice.

The Cavaliers just had Irving kill the Lakers to a basket. The fans are very satisfied with this. As long as Irving can play, the fans in Cleveland will be happy. Irving's iconic breakthrough to kill the basket will make the fans even happier.

Irving was very proud after scoring a goal. He walked past Beverly expressionlessly and snorted coldly.

Beverly was so angry that he was about to pounce on him while muttering, but was stopped by Yuan Qingshan.

Love ran over excitedly and wanted to give Owen a high-five, but Owen turned a blind eye.

"Routine operation, routine operation, don't mind, Kevin." When Love passed by his bench, Drew's assistant coach hurriedly persuaded him.

It was the Lakers' turn to serve, and Jeff Green ran to the baseline to pick up the ball without complaint. Yuan Qingshan wanted to respond, but Beverly also came over.

Yuan Qingshan looked at Beverly suspiciously. According to the usual practice, although Yuan Qingshan is in the second position in this lineup, he is the point of attack. Beverly can do pick-and-rolls or attract other defenders.

"I was careless with that shot just now, please fight back!" Beverly said this like an angry child.

Yuan Qingshan smiled helplessly, then turned and ran towards the front court.

Since Beverly is so angry, let him teach Owen a lesson.

Jeff Green passed the ball obediently, and followed Yuan Qingshan to the front field.

Beverly passed halftime very slowly, as if deliberately waiting for Irving to pounce on defense.

The Cavaliers are in a zone defense, and Irving's position is not too high, shrinking near the three-point line and waiting for Beverly to throw himself into the net.

Ten seconds into the shot clock, the ball is still in Beverly's hands.

O'Neill was puzzled: "Shouldn't this ball be handed over to Yuan Qingshan? Could it be that Beverly is Wharton's hidden secret weapon?"

Mark Jackson: "Did Beverly hide for a few years? It's so dramatic, can you believe it?"

O'Neal shook his head: "I don't believe it!"

Mark Jackson: "That's it. I think the reason is very simple. Beverly is also on top. He wants to give Irving back."

Beverly really wants to return Irving, but the actual operation is not the same as expected. He usually plays screens and shoots open three-pointers. It seems a bit difficult for him to play singles with the ball.
